City Commission Meeting · 2026-05-28 · agenda_item

The City of Palatka is planning the replacement of high service pumps 1 and 2 at a city facility. This project involves new pumps, motors, and variable frequency drives (VFDs). Components are already arriving, and installation is scheduled to begin in June, with the actual installation work expected to take only two days. This upgrade aims to provide more cost-effective and better-performing equipment, along with backup pumps and repair parts. The project is grant funded and is currently in the planning and component arrival phase, with installation set to start soon. The scope of work will involve the installation of the new equipment, likely requiring specialized mechanical and electrical contractors. Early engagement with the city could provide opportunities for suppliers of pumps, motors, and VFDs, as well as contractors experienced in utility equipment installation, before final bids and permits are settled.
